What
is it?
The Inclusion of Other in the Self scale was originally designed by Dr. Art
Aron and colleagues (Aron, Aron, & Smollan, 1992) as a measure of self-other
inclusion and relationship closeness (click here
to see the original measure). The Continuous IOS makes use of the basic
design of the original IOS, but allows for (a) the measure to be embedded
within a web-based questionnaire, (b) the output values to be continuously
scaled, and (c) modifications in the appearance and behavior of the measure.
